The third installment in Victor Salva’s cult horror movie series has finally, after waiting 12 years since Jeepers Creepers II, been given the green light by financiers Myriad Pictures.

Jonathan Breck is returning as the flesh-eating Creeper, and will once again work opposite his pursuer Sergeant David Tubbs as played by Brandon Smith. The lead roles in the movie have yet to be cast.

Filming could begin as early as January 2016.

In a statement released by Myriad Pictures, director Victor Salva made the following comments:

“What will go before cameras as Jeepers Creepers 3 is a new and terrifying chapter from the Jeepers universe. We are bringing back the Creeper’s truck, and will be addressing the big questions about The Creeper: what it is, where it came from and why it does what it does.”
